Flink Jar Job Examples

Overview

You can perform secondary development based on Flink APIs to build your own Jar packages and submit them to the DLI queues to interact with data sources such as MRS Kafka, HBase, Hive, HDFS, GaussDB(DWS), and DCS.

This section describes how to interact with MRS through a custom job.

Environment Preparations

1. Log in to the MRS management console and create an MRS cluster. During the creation, enable Kerberos Authentication and select Kafka, HBase, and HDFS. For details about how to create an MRS cluster, see "Buying a Custom Cluster" in .

2. Enable the UDP/TCP port in the security group rule. For details, see "Adding a Security Group Rule" in .

3. Log in to MRS Manager.

   1. Create a machine-machine account. Ensure that you have the hdfs_admin and hbase_admin permissions. Download the user authentication credentials, including the user.keytab and krb5.conf files.

      Note

      The .keytab file of a human-machine account becomes invalid when the user password expires. Use a machine-machine account for configuration.

   2. Click Services, download the client, and click OK.

   3. Download the configuration files from the MRS node, including hbase-site.xml and hiveclient.properties.

4. Create a dedicated DLI queue.

5. Set up an enhanced datasource connection between the DLI dedicated queue and the MRS cluster and configure security group rules based on the site requirements.

   For details about how to create an enhanced datasource connection, see Enhanced Datasource Connections in the Data Lake Insight User Guide.

   For details about how to configure security group rules, see "Security Group" in Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

6. Obtain the IP address and domain name mapping of all nodes in the MRS cluster, and configure the host mapping in the host information of the DLI cross-source connection.

   For details about how to add an IP-domain mapping, see Modifying the Host Information in the Data Lake Insight User Guide.

   Note

   If the Kafka server listens on the port using hostname, you need to add the mapping between the hostname and IP address of the Kafka Broker node to the DLI queue. Contact the Kafka service deployment personnel to obtain the hostname and IP address of the Kafka Broker node.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that a dedicated queue has been created.

• When running a Flink Jar job, you need to build the secondary development application code into a JAR package and upload it to the created OBS bucket. On the DLI console, choose Data Management > Package Management to create a package.

  Note

  DLI does not support the download function. If you need to modify the uploaded data file, edit the local file and upload it again.

• Flink dependencies have been built in the DLI server and security hardening has been performed based on the open-source community version. To prevent dependency compatibility issues or log output and dump issues, exclude the following files during packaging:

  • Built-in dependencies (or set the package dependency scope to "provided" in Maven or sbt)

  • Log configuration files (for example, log4j.properties or logback.xml)

  • JAR packages for log output implementation (for example, log4j)

How to Use

1. In the left navigation pane of the DLI management console, choose Job Management > Flink Jobs. The Flink Jobs page is displayed.

2. In the upper right corner of the Flink Jobs page, click Create Job.

3. Configure job parameters.

   Table 1 Job parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Type	Select Flink Jar.
   Name	Job name, which contains 1 to 57 characters and consists of only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Note The job name must be globally unique.
   Description	Description of the job, which contains 0 to 512 characters.

4. Click OK to enter the Edit page.

5. Select a queue. A Flink Jar job can run only on general queues.

   Note

   • A Flink Jar job can run only on a pre-created dedicated queue.

   • If no dedicated queue is available in the Queue drop-down list, create a dedicated queue and bind it to the current user.

6. Upload the JAR package.

   The Flink version must be the same as that specified in the JAR package.

   Table 2 Description

   Parameter	Description
   Application	User-defined package. Before selecting a package, upload the corresponding JAR package to the OBS bucket and create a package on the Data Management > Package Management page.
   Main Class	Name of the main class of the JAR package to be loaded, for example, KafkaMessageStreaming. Default: The value is specified based on the Manifest file in the JAR package. Manually assign: You must enter the class name and confirm the class arguments (separate arguments with spaces). Note When a class belongs to a package, the package path must be carried, for example, packagePath.KafkaMessageStreaming.
   Class Arguments	List of arguments of a specified class. The arguments are separated by spaces.
   JAR Package Dependencies	User-defined dependencies. Before selecting a package, upload the corresponding JAR package to the OBS bucket and create a JAR package on the Data Management > Package Management page.
   Other Dependencies	User-defined dependency files. Before selecting a file, upload the corresponding file to the OBS bucket and create a package of any type on the Data Management > Package Management page. You can add the following content to the application to access the corresponding dependency file: fileName indicates the name of the file to be accessed, and ClassName indicates the name of the class that needs to access the file. ClassName.class.getClassLoader().getResource("userData/fileName")
   Flink Version	Before selecting a Flink version, you need to select the queue to which the Flink version belongs. Currently, the following versions are supported: 1.10.

7. Configure job parameters.

   Table 3 Parameter description

   Parameter	Description
   CUs	One CU has one vCPU and 4 GB memory. The number of CUs ranges from 2 to 400.
   Job Manager CUs	Set the number of CUs on a management unit. The value ranges from 1 to 4. The default value is 1.
   Parallelism	Maximum number of parallel operators in a job. Note The value must be less than or equal to four times the number of compute units (CUs minus the number of job manager CUs). You are advised to set this parameter to a value greater than that configured in the code. Otherwise, job submission may fail.
   Task Manager Configuration	Whether to set Task Manager resource parameters. If this option is selected, you need to set the following parameters: CU(s) per TM: Number of resources occupied by each Task Manager. Slot(s) per TM: Number of slots contained in each Task Manager.
   Save Job Log	Whether to save the job running logs to OBS. If this option is selected, you need to set the following parameters: OBS Bucket: Select an OBS bucket to store user job logs. If the selected OBS bucket is not authorized, click Authorize.
